Asphalt Driveway Construction

When laying a new asphalt driveway it is important to lay 150mm of compacted road base. If this is not done, tree roots will likely damage the driveway in only a couple of years. Here is an example of remaking a driveway

Step 1: Ripping up the old driveway

Step 2: Preparing for road base

Step 3: Laying road base, 150mm thick

Step 4: Spraying the Tack Coat

Step 5: Laying the asphalt to an average thickness of 30mm

Gravel Driveway Construction

With gravel driveways we just use natural screened clay, water and compaction. The end result is a hard and flat gravel surface that should last for years.

For this surface to be durable over time, we need to take special care during its construction.
